Orbs that ruined my images and life

Photo: December 19, 2011
Shortly after the release of the Fuji X10 camera early adopters became aware about so called "white disc" problem, or orbs. It seems that the sensor in the X10 can bloom under intensive light and produce white discs or spheres. There are insane number of discussions on various Fuji forums dedicated to this topic. For me it is not a big issue, but for other people it might be. I bet that in the photo above even at A4 size the orbs wouldn't be visible. Shooting at high iso (400) and with high dynamic range (400%) will reduce orbs, and Fuji will address this issue by firmware upgrade.
